Ariv Raja Gautam - Month 6

Happy 6 Months Ariv!!! You are such a cutie pie and we love you so much. The past 6 months has truly flown. Dada and I are writing this as we fly back to NYC from Houston. We just spent the last two weeks with your Dadi and Dadu and it was so much fun!! You celebrated your 6 month birthday in style and got to taste rice for the first time! 

We had a big Puja in your honor and you ate some yummy kheer. We also played a game where you chose items that will help “guess” your future profession. You went for the shiny things first and picked a gold chain which predicts wealth (while also eyeing the cash). Time will only tell but I do know Dada and I will do our best to set you up for future success. 

You are the sweetest little boy and so friendly with everyone - always giving your big gummy smiles! We think your teeth are going to make an appearance soon since you keep chomping down on everything within grasp. You love love love to eat and are growing so so big so fast. You also love love love your big sister and can’t get enough of her. The feeling is definitely mutual. You always smile so big at her when she’s singing and dancing. She loves playing with you and sometimes even helps us make you feel better if you’re crying. 

We can’t see what the next 6 months has in store. We love you our Raja!!!
